MB Sign Up roster for Camp Chawanakee this
summer & the corresponding list of MB Pre-requisites.

Here is an
example of how you would use this information.

I open the file
with "Sign-ups" in the title and find my son, Luke Cameron with his
MB sign ups to identify which MBs he is signed up for at Chawanakee. (Good
cross check to expectations.)

It should look
something like this:

Luke Cameron

Camping

Period 1 Period 2

Citizenship in the World

Period 3

Communications

Period 4

Environmental Science

Next, one should
open the second file to see if there are any pre-reqs for any of your son's
MBs:

For example, for
Communications MB, I find the following pre-reqs:

Communications

8:

Plan
a troop or crew court of honor, campfire program, or interfaith worship
service. Have the patrol leaders' council approve it, then write the script
and prepare the program. Serve as master of ceremonies.

My hope and prayers are that each and every one
of you had a marvelous Christmas & New Year's celebration, enjoying the
break from our Scouting routine.

We have our first Troop Meeting of the year this
Tuesday (1/5/16). I trust that all of our Scouts will receive PHONE CALLS from
their Patrol Leaders with the list or reminders. As previously mentioned, I am
open to our scouts supplementing phone calls with email/text, but not replacing
the phone call.

I have an IMPORTANT date change regarding the
January camp out to Coyote Lake. The camp out reservations for our January
outing have us departing Friday (1/22/16) and returning on Sunday (1/24/16).
This is one week later than what is listed under January in the Scout's binder
calendar for January. My apology for any challenges this may cause anyone.

To be honest, the adult leadership is actually a
little relieved to have one more week to work with the Scout leadership
to prepare for a successful camp out.

Nonetheless, please engage with your Scout and
help him confirm he can attend this fun January outing. The Scouts are
encouraged to come with Permission Slips and $10 for Patrol Food.

Headlights for what's coming down the road this year include
the Klondike Derby in February (Snow camping at Shaver 2/19/16). The other item
to prepare for is the first payment for Camp Chawanakee. More on this
forthcoming from the Committee Chairman.

How you can help the "old" Scout
Master: (1) Please help your scout to confirm or pickup the 2016 binder insert;
(2) Please ensure your Scout has turned in all the paper work that was due in
the 4th quarter to the Committee Chair/Admin team (not the Scout Master).

Please remember that we have a section dedicated to the rank of Eagle Scout. It contains important documents that are vital to your Eagle rank. If you feel that there is something missing on the website please email Jack Benscheidt. We are always looking for suggestions and ways to improve the website for you guys.
